Republican Governor Criticizes Own Party

[omshanti]

WASHINGTON - Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney criticized the Bush administration on Wednesday, saying the government engages in wasteful spending and often gives money to ensure Republican votes.

The government doles out money "based on who will vote for us or for our party: in effect, we buy votes," Romney said in remarks prepared for delivery. "We fund programs that don't work. We tolerate abuse and cheating in the multiples of billions of dollars."

(he goes on to criticize Kerry also).

Romney also criticized Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), arguing that his ties to trial lawyers and labor unions make the Democratic candidate "too conflicted to be president."
